Showcase #44

In "Chapter 1: Tommy Tomorrow -- Wanted for Treason," Capt. Tommy Tomorrow is framed for treason after a gazium raid leaves his Planeteer squadron exposed, with evidence pointing to him as the traitor. Sentenced to five years in Planeteer Prison by General Nordyke, Tomorrow escapes just hours after his conviction—only to vanish into the shadows, setting off a chain of events that will test loyalty across the solar system.

In "Chapter 2: The Fantastic Dr. Klik" from Showcase #44 (1963), the mad scientist Klik uses stolen gazium to inflate a microscopic atom into a colossal, self-contained world teeming with alien life. With his gang, he tracks down Tommy Tomorrow to a dimly lit Venusian cafe, then drags him to his lab on Uranus to carry out a plan that threatens to replace a planet with his new atomic realm. As Tomorrow escapes to warn Earth, he finds the military leadership paralyzed—General Nordyke is unconscious, and the Acting Commandant holds no knowledge of their secret defense strategy.

In "Chapter 3: The Man Who Would Destroy Mars," Jo and Vurian race to stop Klik’s deadly scheme to replace Mars with a self-expanding atom-world. With Vurian’s help, Tomorrow escapes capture and seeks answers from Klik—only to have his cover blown at the worst possible moment. As Klik departs to enact his plan, Tomorrow must act fast to reverse the atom’s growth and free his allies before it’s too late.
